This has to be the best book I have read in a very long time.
I pity kids who are not allowed to read this book. There is no
bad language in comparison to teenage words (I can talk, I'm
13). This book has friendship, critical thinking, and promotes
nonviolence. I think people trying to ban this book have real
problems. This book shows kids that you can start at rock
bottom and become the most powerful being in the world. I
would not have read this book if my friends hadn't. But I
started in first period at 8:00 and finished by 8th period at
3:15. I could have read the whole book in an hour but those
darned teachers kept trying to make me learn. (That was a
joke.) If you have any reason not to read this book, ignore
it. You will be glad you did. P.S. If anyone knows J.K.Rowling,
tell her she needs to write about a female charecter. And tell
her it better be as great a series as Harry Potter.il you see
it - I guarantee you will not be wasting your money on this
purchase. There is a boy named Harry Potter who lives with his
aunt and uncle. His Aunt and Uncle hate him so much. He gets
yelled at a lot and has to do a lot of work. Gold table lamps,
One day a giant named Hagrid comes to give Harry a letter to
invite him to go to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and
wizardry. He then finds out that his parents were wizards. His
Aunt and Uncle told him they died in a car accident, but they
were really killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort. So he
goes to Hogwarts and goes in the Gryffindor group. He meets
Ron and Hermione, and they are Harry's best friends. They are
trying to find out what Voldemort is looking for. They go pass
a three headed dog, through devil snares, a bunch of flying
keys that you have to catch to open the door, a real chess
game, and finally in a room with a mirror lamps. There they
find Professor Quirrel who takes out his turban, which reveals
a weak Voldemort. Voldemort asks Harry to look in the mirror
and tell him what he sees. Harry saw him holding the Sorcerer
Stone. Quirrel tries to take it but when Harry touched him he
started to burn. He died but Voldemort soul comes out and goes
right through Harry. The Sorcerer Stone makes whoever holding
it immortal, Harry was holding it so he didn't die. The year
was over in Hogwarts and he went back to his Aunt and Uncle's
house.
I liked this story because I was always glued to the gold
lamp. Everything was interesting like when Quirrel took off
his turban and you find Voldemort (the scariest name to say in
the story) in the back of his head's.
" Harry would have screamed, but he couldn't make a sound.
Where there should have been a back to Quirrel's head, there
was a face, the most terrible face Harry had ever seen. It was
chalk white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostril, like
a snake." It was interesting to read this passage.
Another quote that was interesting to me was this one:
"Yes..." said Ron softly, "it's the only way... I've got to be
taken." These two quotes lead to something big in this story.
My favorite part of this story is when Harry finally meets
Quirrel and Voldemort next to the Mirror of Erised. Harry was
told to look into it and tell Quirrel what he saw. Harry lied,
but Voldemort who was behind Quirrel turban the whole time
knew he lied. A battle broke between Harry and Quirrel. When
Harry touched him he burned and died. But Voldemort's soul
comes out and looks like killed Harry. I like this part
because the mystery in the story is solved and you know who
lived and died. This is a great book to read. Gold table
Lamps.
